QUESTIONS?

Rotate your rugs frequently to equalize the damaging effects of the sunlight. Continual direct exposure to sunlight will damage a rug over time, use window shades, shutters, or heavy curtains to safeguard your investment.

Protect your rugs from Fumes and Dampness from furnaces, stoves, chimneys and auto exhaust can mix with humidity in the atmosphere to form an acid that fades and deteriorates the appearance of wool. Over time, dampness will rot the threads and destroy the fibers of a rug. Keep them in a dry environment.

Wear and tear If a rug is cut or torn, have a competent person repair the damage as soon as possible. Holes can expand very quickly and ruin an otherwise repairable carpet. With ordinary use, the selvage edges tend to fray as they are not as compressed as the rug pile. Worn edges can easily be re-darned. Fringes can be replaced. Worn or damaged areas in the middle of a rug can be re-knotted. Even large holes can be restored.

Moths can cause extensive damage to Oriental rugs; however, a carpet in normal use is rarely in danger from moths. Frequent rotation and regular exposure to light and air usually keeps moths at bay. Eliminate these pests and safeguard against their return by spraying the front and back of a carpet every six months with moth spray.

Padding an Oriental rug the life can be doubled with the use of good-quality padding. Padding protects the rug, especially in heavily-trafficked areas. The best padding is made of hair or fiber with a rubberized surface to prevent moving and wrinkling. Avoid synthetic pad that takes on the appearance of rubber as it turns to an abrasive powder after several years.

Cleaning The beauty and life of Oriental rugs are vitally dependent on their cleanliness. Lack of maintenance will contribute to loss in the potential investment.

Sweeping the rug with a broom at least once a week removes loose soil and brings out it's natural sheen

Beating is one of the best methods for cleaning a rug. It should be beaten several times on each side, always in dry weather.

Vacuuming Try to use a low suction level and a new bag. Never vacuum against the nap, as this presses dirt back into the rug. (Run your hand across the pile from fringe to fringe to determine the direction of the nap.) Do not vacuum the fringes. The suction of a powerful vacuum cleaner can tear the fringe.

Washing Oriental rugs should be washed every three to five years, depending on their use and the amount of traffic they endure. Using steam-cleaning or chemicals on an Oriental rug removes the natural oils from the wool. The pile becomes brittle, and the carpet wears out sooner. Do not, unless absolutely necessary, submerge an Oriental rug in water. Surface cleaning is usually all that is required.

Crushed pile Revive carpet pile that has been crushed by heavy furniture by brushing the indented area with a soft brush. Moisten with a spray bottle, and brush again.

Storage If a rug must be stored, it must be inspected regularly. To store a rug, wrap it in fabric. An Oriental rug needs to breathe. It can rot or mildew in plastic. A rug can be rolled up and stored in a chest with some paradichlorobenzene crystals, which make the wool inedible to moths. DO NOT lay carpets flat on top of one another for any length of time. A rug stored in a damp or humid area will mildew, which discolors and weakens the fibers. A hot or poorly ventilated storage area will dry out the base of the rug, making it brittle, destroying strength and durability. If you act immediately, you can prevent virtually any spill from becoming a stain.

Sultanabad (Arak) is an old city in northwest Iran, and is renowned for the high quality rugs woven with bold floral patterns. Most rug production took place in the late 19th century when European companies commissioned large decorative rugs for the European market. Sultanabad rugs are characterized by three general motifs. One is the Herati, distinguished by a flower within a diamond that is flanked by curving leaves, which sometimes resemble fish. Another is the Sarouk, named for a village in the Arak area and features central medallions. A third motif of Sultanabad rugs, the Semovar, features recurring rather than central medallions. The rugs in our Sultanabad collection are based on these beautiful floral patterns, but have been made in much finer qualities in Pakistan.

HAPPY CUSTOMERS

"This is the second rug I've purchased from Alrug -- and I love it just as much as the first! Alrug not only has beautifully crafted handmade rugs, but they go out of their way to help make the purchase as easy as possible and to provide excellent customer service. When I ordered my second rug, it turned out that someone else had beat me to it. Alrug found me a similar rug and, because it was too long for my room, they offered to resize it; something I didn't know could be done. And they still got it out to me in a timely manner so I was enjoying it within a week! "

This is the second rug that my family has ordered from ALRUG. Both of them have been Bokharas, and their quality is much greater than what I had previously bought at rug stores here in the States. They are both beautiful and jewel-like, of the quality of antique rugs that I have searched out in the past.

Ed Schwartzreich, VT, USA

We have opened the box and rolled it up after vacuumed it. We like it very much. It is as beautiful as it shows on your website. Thank you! I will buy from you again.

Thank you for your excellent service, and speedy shipping. I received the two rugs within a week of the order, and the quality was excellent. After moving to Thailand I looked everywhere for Afghani design rugs, but could only find very expensive rugs or at least expensive prices. Not only did I find the designs I was looking for from your extensive range, but the price was incredibly reasonable. At those prices now everyone can afford to buy a handwoven masterpiece to grace their homes with. Thank you again for making it possible for me to have these beautiful rugs in my home.

Buying a rug online is scary. Alrug made this process easy and reassuring. I found a rug on their site that I loved but by the time I was ready to buy it, it had been sold. I contacted the company and they said they could have the same rug custom made for me. They sent me updates throughout the process and sent lots of high quality and detailed photos. Everything was as they said it would be. The color, size, quality, price, and timeline. I could not be happier with the finished rug and the customer service. I am also pleased they state on their website "Our commitment to Fair Trade and Ethical Business Practices can be judged by the fact that we strictly enforce policies against child labor in cooperation with SOS Children Villages of Pakistan."

We had the rug earlier in the week. We are really thrilled with it, it's absolutely beautiful, and we will certainly come back to you if we need more!

"I am overwhelmed by the rug I recently purchased from ALRUG Australia. The quality of the weave is so detailed, the wool so soft and colors amazing. Delivery from ALRUG's Pakistan warehouse to Western Australia where I live only took 5 days with detailed tracking."

Jeanette Nicholas, Perth, Australia

"The rug was delivered this afternoon and we are very pleased with it! It is much more vibrant than it appeared on the website, and it goes well with our furnishings. We will attempt to take a photo and send it to you sometime in the next week or so. Thank you for all of your kind assistance—we seem to have required a lot of additional help. We hope to buy from you again in the future, and meanwhile we will recommend ALRUG to our friends and family."

Jim & Andrea, Japan

"Thank you so much for sending the rug so quickly, it arrived on Friday, in the afternoon by DHL. It is beautiful and we are very happy! We really appreciate all that you have done, very professionally and a lot of help to understand the process. We are happy to refer you at any time."

Birgitta Houghton, California, USA

This little jewel of a rug arrived yesterday, and it is GORGEOUS! I had not appreciated the rarity of round Bokhara rugs—especially in the color I wanted—and I had given up hope until I saw the selection on the ALRUG website. I am thrilled that the rug is not only exactly as pictured but also of such high quality. The color is stunning. I also want to tell you how grateful I am for your keeping in touch with me while the rug was being prepared and shipped. It was very important to me since I didn’t know anything about how to order rugs on the internet. This rug is going to receive many admiring comments, and I will be so happy to recommend your website to my friends. Thank you again for the beautiful product and the great service!

Mary Frances Rimpini, Washington, USA

This morning our beautiful Kilim arrived. The rug is finely woven and replicates the colors on your website perfectly. I am also very pleased with the suppleness and texture, and it fits into our eclectic décor with ease. Throughout the transaction, your communications have been outstanding, prompt and informative and it was a pleasure to do business with you. With many thanks for a beautiful product.
